Through the first four games of the season, Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson is shooting only 37.3 percent from the field and 13.6 percent from beyond the arc. However, the sharpshooter isn't concerned one bit because he knows it's a long season and he'll catch his rhythm soon.
Klay Thompson is one of the best shooters in NBA history. For his career, the four-time All-Star shoots 45.7 percent from the floor and 42.0 percent from the 3-point line. It's just a matter of time until he starts to hit his jump shot.
Klay Thompson on his shooting slump: “I’m not really worried about my 3-point shooting. I think my career numbers speak for themselves.”

Klay Thompson is the last guy we need to be worried about. He can catch fire at any moment. It's just so rare to see him miss so many shots that people were wondering if there was something wrong with the 28-year-old.
Thompson will become an unrestricted free agent after the season ends. He has said multiple times he wants to retire with the Warriors. Golden State has won two straight championships and three out of the last four Finals. Thompson and backcourt mate Stephen Curry are arguably the best shooting backcourt in NBA history.
Klay Thompson will make $18.9 million this season. It wouldn't make financial sense for him to sign a contract extension during the season. If he signed an extension before July 1, 2019, Thompson would make roughly $102 million over the next five years. While that’s a nice dollar figure, if Thompson waited until the summer, he would be looking at a max contract starting around $188 million.
